There are two girls I know, for whom I would love to arrange a co-habitation weekend that would help them both tremendously.

One is all glitz and glamour, flash and pizzazz, death in high heels with a micro-mini, incredibly tight sweaters, immaculately blowdried and tinted hair, and enough makeup to make an SM Sta. Mesa saleslady pause and say, “Girl, you really need to wear less makeup.”

The other is frumpy and plain, the Filipino Susan Boyle, very reserved and withdrawn, never been kissed, never been touched, has never been in love with a buff, ripped, bearded, long-haired man besides Jesus Christ, and looks like she buys her pantsuits on sale at Elegant Lesbian.

I want them both to meet, hang out, share life philosophies and fashion advice.

Girl A could give Girl B a make-over.

Girl B could give Girl A a make-under.

Put the both of them together, and hope we can reap the fashion world’s equivalent of a zero-sum game, where we get the best of both worlds and the worst of none.

If I could pull this off, would it count as a good deed, or will I still go to hell for thinking such catty things about them?

 

Myrrhnalyn, you’re beautiful, but does your mother know what you wear to work? :O

…I was *this close* to buying this shirt at David & Goliath.

Not for anything, but I really need to drive home a point with Menggay and Cha, who insist in the caricatures they made of me that MDJ Superstar swings a small package.

Good sense prevailed, however, and I instead made sure that my retail highlight of the week was a beautiful gray flannel dressing robe at Calvin Klein that April helped me pick out.

Mainly because we all believe best accents our rosy red mestizo/mestiza features.

I recently spotted four very fashionable men here at the Agency walking around in very spiffy, trim outfits. The thing they had in common, and it caught my eye immediately was this – they were all not wearing socks.

Is this acceptable?

They were in very nice, crisp, slim chinos, all of them, and they had very nice Italian-looking slip-ons or moccasins. I thought they looked nice.

I certainly wouldn’t do this with a pair of Adidas Stan Smiths and scruffy cargo pants. But I am wondering if I could do what they do and just go au naturel with my tooties.

GQ’s Style Guy Glenn O’Brien is adamantly against going sockless, btw, unless you happen to be on a yacht. I checked last night.

But still…
